Rating: - Benny and Joon!
Here I got a 2 for one deal. My favorite!! I liked man in the moon, it is a good drama. You need a box of kleenex though. i found it to be a tear jerker at some point. Now Benny and Joon. I don't know how anyone can not fall in love with Johnny Depp. Yes, he was great in Pirate's of the Caribbean. He plays a slightly different character in this film, he is a bit autistic one might say? He plays his character to the fullest. He is charming, witty, just so adorable. It's a classic but it will never be too old for any genre. This movie is like a breath of fresh air! Don't take my word for it, do a search for Benny and Joon movie trailer, watch the preview and then you just might see where I'm coming from. (my fav. part is him doing hat tricks)
Rating: - Romance and Tenderness
Though I am generally not a fan of these pre-packaged double features because you often end up with one film you want and one you are just ho-hum about, this one has two really enjoyable films which, while quite different, are very appealing.
Benny and Joon has sort of taken on cult status as a quirky romantic comedy since its original release. Johnny Depp gives a charismatic performance as the very off-beat Sam, who watches Benny's (AIdan Quinn) sister, Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson) while he works. The focus is on the romance that develops between Sam and Joon, but Aidan Quinn is excellent also as a brother so worried about his mentally challenged sister's future he almost harpoons his own chance at happiness with a young and lovely Julianne Moore.
The grill cheese scene, the hat in the park, and the poignant bus scene offer both romance and just enough depth to make this film live whereas others in the genre simply fall flat. Masterson is just as memorable as Depp in her own way and the secondary romance offers something of interest as well. A great date movie.
As good as "Benny and Joon" is, however, the real prize here might just be "Man in the Moon." A poignant coming of age story set in rural Louisiana during the 1950's, it is beautifully photographed and filled with love and tenderness. The focal point of director Robert Mulligan's fine film is a very young Reese Witherspoon and she truly sparkles.

Rating: - Heartwarming & Dramatic
Benny & Joon and The Man in the Moon are both amazing films. Both are very heartwarming and touching. Great deal to get both in the same package. I would definitely recommend both of these movies to everyone.
